I want books that will build my son's confidence in his ability to read, not frustrate him! Um, those are not beginning-to-read words. My son chose a Star Wars level 1 book and it included words like "shoulder", "symbol" and "organization". And forget about easy readers with licensed characters. To start with, I've noticed that all publishers have different standards for levels! Plus, even within the same publisher and level the degree of difficulty can vary. Whereas with my early reading oldest child, I was concerned about finding advanced books with subjects appropriate for a 4 year old, now I am looking for easy readers which are actually easy. Do you have an emerging reader? Have you ever noticed how many of the so-called easy reader books are not actually easy? My 5 year old is currently deep in the beginning stages of reading books.
